Front subframe is almost finished, built the other side up and started the back today...


So, we put the bump stop in the other side properly




Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Everything that side sits just right now, looooooks so different from when I took it apart



So, started the other side



annnnndddd forgot to take more pictures





But I did clean the studs up and dad put them into the top of the subframe





After that took the Dynamo and starter to one of dads friends to be disected, cleaned/refurbished and put together again, and while that happens we'll have some parts back to paint




Then we moved onto the steering rack, we got out these steering gaiters, but they where Universal and dad wasn't happy with them, so we glued on this piece of foam and left it at that







Then we moved onto the rear subframe and started the drivers side first

Thanks Stertters, as of today it's on all 2's.. I've decided to turn it into a wheel-barrow.

But jokes aside, the back two wheels are on, I'm just testing the water here to see if I can link my facebook photo's so just check back in a few minutes :3 (It didn't work so I'm sorry for the tiny pictures my imageshack account is full)


Started of by putting the last of the back brake pipes on





Then the handbrake cable



Then the fuel tank rubber..





Then the lights!







Then one wheel!







Then another wheel!





And that's all that we got done, since we don't have the brake cyclinders to go on the front


So then we put sound deadning on the pedal box



and... put it in!







and then, the steering column








And that's it We're heading over DSN to get new light covers and some other bits tomorrow, hopefully the front wheels might be on, if the cylinders turn up :)

Looking very nice..!

[miniman_7]

As always, loving your work!!

One question, are you making the brake lines up yourself?

Time for a new camera me thinks!

Thanks Jagman, but it's not as impressive as your rebuild
